Oh. My. Word. I enjoyed this book so much. Lukens wrote Ellory and Knox so well. I love how Knox's struggles between his situation and what was expected of him was plainly shown, but still realistic. And Ellery's reactions to world-shattering news was also incredibly well-written.

I love how the setting played such an important part in Ellory's motivations instead of just acting as a backdrop for the story; it could not have been written in a different location, and I love that. 

All in all, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to someone looking for a lighthearted urban (adjacent) fantasy story about two people from very different (even contradictory) backgrounds and beliefs coming together and refusing to abandon the other.
